Undeniable Fact about Provocation of Korean War


Pyongyang, June 26 (KCNA) -- Over the past 60 odd years, the United States has insisted that the Korean War (June 25, 1950-July 27, 1953) was started with the "southward invasion" by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
History, however, denies such insistence of the U.S. imperialists.
MacArthur, the then commander of the U.S. forces in the Far East, told a U.S. Senate hearing in May 1951 that the north Korean forces were deployed much far from the 38th parallel and the deployment was not for attack. He also said that the south Korean forces had amassed all their military supplies and hardware in the areas along the 38th parallel and their deployment formation was not for defense in depth.
It was also disclosed that the then U.S. president, Truman, gave officials of the Defense and State departments Order No. 29 on launching a general attack at dawn of June 25, 1950. The order was delivered, through the command of the U.S. forces in the Far East, to field commands of the south Korean forces on June 21, to each regiment on June 24 and to each company at dawn of June 25.
Meanwhile, the U.S. imperialists let units under the U.S. 5th Air Force in Japan take part in the Korean War from June 25.
An American war veteran testified to the fact that the 68th and 339th fighter squadrons and the 25th fighter-bomber squadron under the U.S. 5th Air Force made 163 sorties from Japan on June 25.
According to American book "Who Began the Korean War?", a war scenarios for aggression on the DPRK had already and completely been worked out and the war preparations were rounded off as of May 1950 on the part of the U.S. imperialists.
India's newspaper Crossroads reported in its Dec. 23 issue in 1950 that Colonel Eida, who had been a staff officer of the U.S. Forces Command in the Far East, said that the south Korean army started the war by the direct order of the U.S. general headquarters in Japan.
It is the undeniable truth that the U.S. started the Korean War. -0-
